Chapter 123 - Chapter 123: Ideals and Opportunity

"Next, it's my turn!"

The scythe in her hand emitted a black light, as spirit power continuously poured in and was then compressed.

Endless compression, and then—

The blade landed on the dragon's neck, breaking through the Dragonia's scales.

The next moment, endless booming sounds passed from the scythe, through the scales, and into the dragon's body.

The booming echoed incessantly. After a long time, silence returned, and the White Dragon praised, "Truly splendid."

At this point, the dragon's vessel was destroyed, and it quietly awaited death.

"Hey, what's your name?"

Jibril had shrunk into her Loli Form.

Compared to the tragic state described in the original work, Jibril's condition was much better now.

Furthermore, because she had reached the Third Stage of the Fusion Equation, she had already touched upon the domain of 'life'.

Even if she temporarily exhausted all the energy in her body, her recovery rate was much faster than before.

If it used to take several years to recover, now it only takes two or three days.

In *No Game No Life*, the beings ranked in the Top Six Ranks are called life, but only the Flugel at rank six is a God-Made Life.

Dragonia were born from the corpses of gods. Although they lacked gods marrow, they possessed unique talent regarding time.

The Flugel was far inferior in life form, and releasing a Heavenly Strike was too extreme, exhausting all the energy in their body.

In order to maintain their existence, they were forced to transform into their Loli Form.

Therefore, energy recovery for the Flugel was also very troublesome.

Now, this flaw was barely compensated for.

"I won, Little Rias."

Knowing Rias had entered the Live Broadcast Room, Jibril immediately shared the joy of victory with Rias.

"Congratulations, you've gotten stronger."

Rias sighed with emotion.

When they first met, Rias was only three years old, and the difference between them was like life and mere biological existence.

But now, Rias could fight at the speed of light, predicated on transcending physical laws.

According to the Little Garden system, she was already considered a Four-Digit Anomaly, and among Anomalies, she was one of the Strongest, extremely close to the Three-Digit rank.

Moreover, she reached this domain purely by her own power, without relying on the Pantheons worldview.

Her progress was like the difference between heaven and earth, but the scene of Jibril slaying the dragon also showed Rias that Jibril was striving forward too.

Lying spread-eagled on the ground, Jibril laughed like a child.

"Are you talking to someone, Little Wing?"

The White Dragon looked at Jibril with calm eyes and said.

"It's a very formidable person, even more formidable than the Lord. I respect her greatly and I like her very much."

Jibril said without concealing anything.

"It seems you already have the answer to the previous question... Troublesome Wing~"

The White Dragon spoke softly, his gaze extremely gentle.

To be honest, Jibril's ability to challenge the White Dragon six times in a row until this success was largely thanks to the White Dragon holding back.

A lone Flugel member possessed no power against a Dragonia; they could be crushed with a single blow.

But it didn't do that, because it also vaguely realized what the Final Dragon had seen.

It just hadn't expected that while that Hollow Deity hadn't found the answer, a wing had.

This must be a pleasant surprise for that War God.

"I guess so~"

Jibril sneered, "Getting stronger has no measure or meaning from the start. I just need to be stronger, strong enough to keep up with Little Rias."

"It's not about being obsessed with the title of 'Strongest'; I merely want to challenge the strong and feel the joy of battle."

"Is that so..." the White Dragon whispered, "That's very much the style of the Flugel~"

"Hey, Lizard, what's your name?"

Jibril asked, "After so much effort, I finally did it, and I became stronger because of it."

"It would be a pity if I didn't know the name of my opponent."

The White Dragon calmly replied, "A subordinate of the Dragon King, Sage Dragon Reginleiv: The Unreachable Light."

"I see..."

"Not bad~" Jibril said.

"Shining Wing, you are now able to understand the significance of defeating me... Therefore, boast about your great achievement to your heart's content~"

No longer referred to as broken, Jibril was no longer troubled.

At the same time, she was not hollow like other members of the Flugel.

She possessed unique insight, truly understood what she wanted, and was clear about her own goals.

In the future, she will surely be able to change that Hollow Deity.

Thinking this, the White Dragon's eyes held a unique gentleness.

"Tch, what annoying eyes."

Jibril shook her head, then took out a red and white sphere.

She pressed the button in the center and threw it in front of the White Dragon.

"It's not time for you to die yet."

Jibril said, "I originally wanted to take your head as a trophy, but now I'm no longer concerned with heads, because I have a more important goal."

"I owe Little Rias many things, so I'll use you as compensation for a return gift."

After speaking, the red and white Poké Ball emitted a burst of light, shining upon the White Dragon.

Without the power to resist, the White Dragon was contained within it.

Afterward, Jibril sent it to Rias.

"This is a return gift from a friend, Little Rias."

Jibril laughed.

"Then I shall accept it."

Rias said, "Do you have any thoughts on the next system?"

"The Temporal Essence of the Dragonia, the Independent Energy Core of the Phantasmal Race, and the gods marrow of the God Species."

Jibril thought for a moment and said, "Analyzing the evolutionary direction of these three types of life still depends on you, Little Rias."

"That's fine~"

Rias replied.

In the past two years, besides modifying her own core, Jibril has also been continuously trying to understand the Concept of Space from other perspectives.

However, until now, she has not been able to make the Concept of Space complete.

For the Flugel, space is like water. To obtain a complete Concept of Space, one needs to accept other Spatial Philosophies, which fundamentally challenges their own nature, making it not so easy.

However, her future is promising.

As for researching other systems, it is not as easy as imagined.

Especially a system like Small Universe, although very powerful, the life essence of a Saint Seiya is fundamentally different from that of life in a Other World.

Besides someone like Rias who is involved with the Tree of Life System, only someone with high Malleability like Yasuri Nanami, who is also fed resources by Rias, can get involved with the Small Universe system and quickly reach extremely high domains.

Aside from Small Universe, other systems are not as powerful as the one she uses, so there is no need to mention them.

"Little Jib!!"

Azrael's shouting came from afar, and Jibril couldn't help but show a look of disdain.

The live broadcast was turned off, and the sound of their conversation gradually faded away.

"You don't have much time left, Little Jib~"

Rias closed the Chat Group and chuckled softly.

She had long ago promised Jibril that she would go to her world.

Initially, it was only for her own safety and because she disliked the feeling of not having the Initiative.

Two years have passed, and Rias hasn't gone yet, simply because—

She wanted to leave the opportunity to defeat Artosh for Jibril.
